Product FAQs
7 answersWhat types of equipment is the TB13060BWE09 designed to be installed in?
This unit mount breaker is typically installed in GE switchboards and motor control centers. It bolts directly to the backpan or mounting surface rather than plugging into a panelboard bus.
Are the factory lugs on the TB13060BWE09 rated for aluminum conductors?
Yes, the included lugs accept both copper and aluminum wire. The acceptable wire range for this frame is 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG.
How does the current limiting feature of the TB1 series benefit my electrical system?
As a current limiting breaker, it is designed to clear a fault in less than one half cycle. This rapid response significantly reduces the peak let-through current and thermal energy, protecting downstream components from severe short-circuit damage.
Can the TB13060BWE09 be utilized in direct current systems?
Yes, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, where it provides an interrupting rating of 100kA.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the TB13060BWE09 to coordinate with downstream devices?
No, this specific breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Why might my TB13060BWE09 arrive with ABB branding instead of General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions. As a result, newer production runs of the TB1 series carry the ABB name. The breaker is an exact drop-in replacement with identical specifications and UL listings regardless of which logo is on the case.
Is the TB13060BWE09 suitable for industrial facilities with high available fault currents?
Yes, it is highly suited for these environments. It provides a 200kAIC interrupting rating at both 240VAC and 480VAC, which meets or exceeds the requirements for most heavy commercial and industrial switchboards.
